Isometric Projection

The document discusses isometric projection, which is a type of pictorial projection used in technical drawings. [1] It visually represents 3D objects in 2D in a way that all three axes appear foreshortened at 120 degree angles. [2] In isometric projection, vertical lines remain vertical and horizontal lines are drawn at 30 degrees, while lines parallel to the axes (isometric lines) remain parallel. [3] The steps to draw an isometric projection include drawing orthographic views, establishing three 120 degree axes, projecting distances to those axes, constructing an isometric box, projecting individual views onto the box faces, removing non-existing lines, and darkening visible lines.

TECHNICAL DRAFTING 1

ISOMETRIC
PROJECTION
PICTORIAL
PROJECTIONS

Pictorial projections are used for presenting ideas which may be


easily understood by persons even with out technical training
and knowledge of multi-view drawing. The Pictorial drawing
shows several faces of an object in one view, approximately as it
appears to the eye.
WHAT IS ISOMETRIC
PROJECTION?

it visually represents three-dimensional objects in


two dimensions in technical and engineering
drawings. It is an axonometric projection in which
the three coordinate axes appear equally
foreshortened and the angle between any two of
them is 120 degrees.
LINES IN ISOMETRIC
PROJECTION
The lines that are parallel on the object are parallel in the isometric projection.

Vertical lines on the object appear vertical in the isometric projection.

Horizontal lines on the object are drawn at an angle of 30° with the horizontal
in the isometric projection.

A line parallel to an isometric axis is called an isometric line

A line which is not parallel to any isometric axis is called non-isometric line
REMEMBER
Three isometric axes will be at 120 angle
with each other.
Height will be along vertical isometric axis.
Length and width will be along isometric
axes each being <30 inclined with
horizontal.
No hidden line will be shown in isometric
drawing unless necessary.
Step -1:

Draw the
orthographic
views.
Step -2: Draw
three isometric
axes. Use set
square to make
300 angles.
Step -3:
Cut
corresponding
distances equal
to major
(maximum)
length, width
and height of
object from
each isometric
axis.
Step -4: Draw
an isometric
box. To do this,
draw 2 parallel
lines of each
isometric axis
at the end
points of other
two axes
Step -5: Draw
given views
(front, top and
left/right) on
the
corresponding
face of the
isometric box.
Step -6:
Look through the
individual views
and identify non-
existing lines and
surfaces. Erase
the non-existing
lines.
Step -7: Finally,
darken the visible
lines. Compare
the orthographic
views with your
obtained
Isometric views.
Check if any
logical
line/surface is
missing. If not,
you are done.
